Travis French, a former student at NKU and past president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, is fighting acute myeloid leukemia.  After a two week stay in the hospital with aggressive chemo-therapy, Travis now has daily treatments with chemo once a month for the next six months.  Blood donations in his name will help replenish the blood used for his treatments for the next six months.  Travis and his family – wife Jillian, sons Tate and Caleb and daughter Harper – are very appreciative of NKU’s generosity in sponsoring a Hoxworth blood drive in his name.
